This study found a large body of evidence exploring long-term outcomes among individuals living with and beyond HNC; however, there were gaps in evidence exploring the relationship between psychosocial outcomes and a rich understanding of the patient experience. Additionally, the considerable variability in methods, outcome measurement and reporting suggests a more standardized approach to long-term cancer outcomes research, and adherence to reporting checklists.
Fillo et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
